Ely Museum

About

Following a £2.2m National Lottery Heritage Fund redevelopment between 2019-2021, Ely Museum is now open to the public again! Ely Museum tells the stories of the people and the landscape of Ely and its surrounding area from prehistory to the present day. Our displays explore how people have lived here over the centuries and how their way of life has been influenced by the unusual landscape of the fens. They also highlight the many ways in which the people have changed and adapted the landscape to suit their needs. Light, airy galleries and lots of fun, hands-on activities for children makes a visit to Ely Museum fun for the whole family!
